About the Pub
The present pub was rebuilt in 1900 and features part panelled walls, an attractive back bar and interesting tiles on the gantry over the bar itself. Curious white antler chandeliers are presumably a more modern addition. The upstairs ‘Theatre Bar’ and dining area is furnished with memorabilia from the former St James's Theatre which stood next door between 1835 and 1957.
The handpumps generally offer a couple of beers from the Greene King range and one from another brewery. There is an interesting menu of hot dishes as well as snacks, sharers and sandwiches, all at prices considered reasonable for the area.
Historic Interest
Although the pub’s licence dates from c.1690, it has been on this site only since 1731. In 1823 the landlady was kicked to death by a woman customer.
